I had considered to take WOU and did some research. Fees now is nearly 18k.
There are only 2 semesters in 1 year, if you takes 3 modules/ sem, then it takes 2.5 years to grad.
Most students take 2 modules/ sem, the advisor even suggested to take 1 module for the 1st sem to see if you can cope with distance learning.

Reason i choose not to take distance learning is --
I have seen how students interact with others (student, lecturer, course coordinator) through the web portal, it really takes a lot of time to get the info you want. It could take a few days to get a reply for an assignment.

Local Uni, UPM should be better, even the tutor/ lecturer from MMU studied MBA at UPM.
The fees for UPM MBA is nearly 21k (include text book, and refreshment ).
Lecturers wise, some really lead you to higher level management thinking, some not so good (come to class 15 min late, break time 30 min, then dismiss 30 min earlier; or just joke around).
Normally you'll get a lot of tips for final exam.

Wales Newport same like other UK MBA, need to do Dissertation. Attend class once a week only during the weekend.
Fees is about 23k ?
It is very new, no student has started the dissertation, even the staff at Unity not sure how the dissertation will be accessed by Wales Newport.

Ballarat is weekday evening class, tuition and admin fees in 17k. The expensive one is exam fees, AUD400 per module, and there is a total of 12 modules. Current exchange rate 2.5, then it is about RM1k per module.

Segi USQ is more expensive, about 38k. Weekend class. More major options compare to Ballarat.
There are students from China, and negro in Ballarat. In general their standard is slightly lower than local student.

Heard that MMU PhD of Business Admin does have a lot CEO/ MD/ Senior Management.
In general i think the more expensive the course the higher chance to meet top management people.
